As far as I can tell, you can't mix --file and --pathdepth.. I'd have to reimplemnt --pathdepth and the directory creation in my script, which while not a major problem in Perl (aside from reinventing a potentially inferior wheel), may be if someone is using shell scripting. + +Maybe this request can be more generalised to *--prefix*? + +Then people could use --prefix to either just prefix the filename or set a directory for it to be put into.
